[quote=Anonymous]OP, every woman can and should decide for herself if it’s worth it.

For me, personally, it was one of my favorite parts of the newborn/infant/baby stages. Some of my best memories of being calm, close, connected and snuggling was when we were breastfeeding. I also loved that we always had an excuse to carve out some quiet time during hectic family events and other busy times. There was always an opportunity for me to focus entirely on my babies.

The first time around, it did take some practice. The second time, we were off to the races from the first latch. In both cases, I pumped when I went back to work, and didn’t find that to be a big deal, at all.

Everyone’s mileage will vary on this one. For me, pumping was fast and I got full bottles every time. I have one friend whose supply was so great that she donated milk. And another friend who barely got an ounce when she pumped.

My sister had an easy time of BF from the very first; my cousin had a hard time and it never worked for her, so she switched to formula quickly. It’s such an individual, personal thing.

If you want to try it, that’s great. If you don’t want to, that’s also great. Because either way, you’re going to feed your baby and snuggle with your baby.
